Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.16.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential out-of-bounds memory access in nilfs_find_entry()
Syzbot reported that when searching for records in a directory where the
inode's i_size is corrupted and has a large value, memory access outside
the folio/page range may occur, or a use-after-free bug may be detected if
KASAN is enabled.
This is because nilfs_last_byte(), which is called by nilfs_find_entry()
and others to calculate the number of valid bytes of directory data in a
page from i_size and the page index, loses the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit
size information due to an inappropriate type of local variable to which
the i_size value is assigned.
This caused a large byte offset value due to underflow in the end address
calculation in the calling nilfs_find_entry(), resulting in memory access
that exceeds the folio/page size.
Fix this issue by changing the type of the local variable causing the bit
loss from "unsigned int" to "u64". The return value of nilfs_last_byte()
is also of type "unsigned int", but it is truncated so as not to exceed
PAGE_SIZE and no bit loss occurs, so no change is required.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix use after free on unload
System crash is observed with stack trace warning of use after
free. There are 2 signals to tell dpc_thread to terminate (UNLOADING
flag and kthread_stop).
On setting the UNLOADING flag when dpc_thread happens to run at the time
and sees the flag, this causes dpc_thread to exit and clean up
itself. When kthread_stop is called for final cleanup, this causes use
after free.
Remove UNLOADING signal to terminate dpc_thread. Use the kthread_stop
as the main signal to exit dpc_thread.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_packet: avoid erroring out after sock_init_data() in packet_create()
After sock_init_data() the allocated sk object is attached to the provided
sock object. On error, packet_create() frees the sk object leaving the
dangling pointer in the sock object on return. Some other code may try
to use this pointer and cause use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix out-of-bounds access in 'dcn21_link_encoder_create'
An issue was identified in the dcn21_link_encoder_create function where
an out-of-bounds access could occur when the hpd_source index was used
to reference the link_enc_hpd_regs array. This array has a fixed size
and the index was not being checked against the array's bounds before
accessing it.
This fix adds a conditional check to ensure that the hpd_source index is
within the valid range of the link_enc_hpd_regs array. If the index is
out of bounds, the function now returns NULL to prevent undefined
behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mempolicy: fix migrate_to_node() assuming there is at least one VMA in a MM
We currently assume that there is at least one VMA in a MM, which isn't
true.
So we might end up having find_vma() return NULL, to then de-reference
NULL. So properly handle find_vma() returning NULL.
This fixes the report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath10k: avoid NULL pointer error during sdio remove
When running 'rmmod ath10k', ath10k_sdio_remove() will free sdio
workqueue by destroy_workqueue(). But if CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON
is set to yes, kernel panic will happen:
Call trace:
destroy_workqueue+0x1c/0x258
ath10k_sdio_remove+0x84/0x94
sdio_bus_remove+0x50/0x16c
device_release_driver_internal+0x188/0x25c
device_driver_detach+0x20/0x2c
This is because during 'rmmod ath10k', ath10k_sdio_remove() will call
ath10k_core_destroy() before destroy_workqueue(). wiphy_dev_release()
will finally be called in ath10k_core_destroy(). This function will free
struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev and all its members, including
wiphy, dev and the pointer of sdio workqueue. Then the pointer of sdio
workqueue will be set to NULL due to CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON.
After device release, destroy_workqueue() will use NULL pointer then the
kernel panic happen.
Call trace:
ath10k_sdio_remove
->ath10k_core_unregister
……
->ath10k_core_stop
->ath10k_hif_stop
->ath10k_sdio_irq_disable

->ath10k_core_destroy
->ath10k_mac_destroy
->ieee80211_free_hw
->wiphy_free
……
->wiphy_dev_release
->destroy_workqueue
Need to call destroy_workqueue() before ath10k_core_destroy(), free
the work queue buffer first and then free pointer of work queue by
ath10k_core_destroy(). This order matches the error path order in
ath10k_sdio_probe().
No work will be queued on sdio workqueue between it is destroyed and
ath10k_core_destroy() is called. Based on the call_stack above, the
reason is:
Only ath10k_sdio_sleep_timer_handler(), ath10k_sdio_hif_tx_sg() and
ath10k_sdio_irq_disable() will queue work on sdio workqueue.
Sleep timer will be deleted before ath10k_core_destroy() in
ath10k_hif_power_down().
ath10k_sdio_irq_disable() only be called in ath10k_hif_stop().
ath10k_core_unregister() will call ath10k_hif_power_down() to stop hif
bus, so ath10k_sdio_hif_tx_sg() won't be called anymore.
